Lyrics
Reception Fades
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You talk about the way things were
but I can't hear what you're saying
a time when life was not this hard
blessed by the innocence
Is the best yet to come?
or did it pass by long ago?
are we holding on to a thread
of something already dead?
I'm not your reason to stand up straight
shoulders back chest out and eyes raised
stepping back, I hesitate
I can't let myself be taken
Is the best yet to come?
or did it pass by long ago?
are we holding on to a thread
of something already dead?
You can't change your mind, expect me to care
you can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there.
[2x]
can't just change your mind
The reception fades the signals breaking up
and am I moving on or am I giving up?
If you walk away from this with anything
live your life today.
